_ Top driver keeps championship ‘QUEBEC (CP) — Gilles Villeneuve of Bertierville, ’ Que., retained his Canadian ‘driving championshi Sunday by winning the fin _race of the 1977 Labatt Challenge Series ahead of second-place Bobby Rahal of Wheaton, Ill. Villeneuve was second in the early going in his March but moved into the lead on the sixth of 80 laps when Keke Rosberg of Finland spun his Excita Chevron coming into the straight on the 2.03-kilometre course. _ Villeneuve stayed in front, just ahead of the March driven by Bill Brack of Toronto, until the 34th lap when Villeneuve spun. But by that point Brack, who led the Ford driver point standings entering the race, had retired. “The clutch went on lap five,” Brack said, ‘‘and then I hit the guard rail which damaged the nose.” He pulled his March into the pits and out of the race on the 23rd lap. Villeneuve’s spin handed the lead in the race to Rahal, and he stayed in front in his Ralt until having to pit on the 52nd lap when a lead toa spark plug came off. That put Villeneuve back in front and he went on to win by 28.1 seconds.

Late in the race, water had started to leak from Cobb's engine and Wood, right behind him, skidded off the road on the entrance to the straight. Finishing a lap behind, were Jacques Laffite in a Chevron and Howdy Holmes of Ann Arbor, Mich., in a March 77B. Villeneuve found victory was no easy matter, ‘I had roblems with the rear rakes from the mornin warmup session,’ he said. too well, so at one point went down an escape roa rather than risk spinnin and hitting a guard rail.
